BUSTED: Authorities say 56 year old Cuong Van Nguyen and 51 year old Queyen Tran set up in Lams Seafood parking lot, targeting HOMELESS people+drug addicts. Vietnamese duo allegedly offered FENTANYL in exchange for EBT cards or bought food stamps for pennies on dollar. #Seattle
IN COURT: I just missed Nguyen's first appearance but caught tail end of Tran's. The duo was arrested in their home, authorities say they found 1000 fentanyl pills, 200 grams of cocaine, heroin, and a pistol. Back in court December 22. #Seattle
